Cooper will be at the Montrose Regional Library, on Tuesday, February 5, at 7 p.m. for a photo presentation and book signing. Mr. Cooper spent years researching the Trail of Tears, and in the winter of 2011, walked the length of the Northern Route as closely as he could to the original path. He is the first person to travel this route in modern times. His book, It’s My Trail, Too: A Comanche Indian’s Journey on the Cherokee Trail of Tears, chronicles that trek. Mr. Cooper took thousands of photos of his journey and will be sharing the best of them during his presentation. If you are interested in Native American and American history, long distance hiking, small town trivia, and thoughts of a Native American in the 21st century, you will not want to miss it!

This FREE workshop will give you ideas for enjoying and safely riding during the colder winter months- just in time for Winter Bike to Work Day on Friday, January 8th!
The workshop will be lead by local League Cycling Instructor Bevin Barber-Campbell. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

This winter orchestra concert highlights selections from the award-winning 1984 film, “Amadeus,” an opulent tale and fictionalized biography of Mozart. We welcome back soloist Susan Ellinger, who will perform her wonderful piano artistry on Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, which played over the film’s closing credits. Praised for her “refined, poised and singular” vision, Ellinger has performed extensively as both a soloist and chamber musicians, presenting recitals at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center’s Bruno Walter Auditorium, Tanglewood Music Festival, the Taos School of Music, and many more. She resides in Paonia and serves as the artistic director of the Blue Sage Center for the Arts, where she created and directs their comprehensive and successful year-round concert series program. The VSA is an all-volunteer performing arts organization in its 48th season. Its musicians, who range in age from 14-92, hail from throughout the Western Slope.
